How To Keep From Spoiling Your Child or How To Treat One Another as God Treats Us.

Please view this short but very provocative video on You Tube on "How To Keep From Spoiling Your Child" then read what I wrote.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2L_abp6-Fo&feature=fvsr

If you get this, we can see a large picture of what and how our heavenly Father treats us, for we are just mere children, and if so, shouldn’t we offer that same continued Grace to one another as adults? I believe so! This is the big picture of understanding love, and correction.

Reasonable correction is always with the mind and heart of love, not selfishness and the I am going to get what ” I “want out of them if I have to cast them off forever.
How would you ever know it worked? How would He ever get results. Is eternal damnation the heart of God or eternal love?

Especially if you relegate all men off to man’s ideas of justice which are retribution and full of selfish vengeance.
Let us treat one another as adults and our children as God truly treats us, to love and correct one another, but never with ultimate harm and destruction in mind.

All of us are the objects of God’s love and eye, sinner and saint alike, for He made them all. not just the one’s who think they got it, like the Pharisess and counted out the very one’s that God was about show He meant it for, the Gentiles, the prostitutes, the tax collectors, the hated dredges of society and religion.

God wants only to have no spoiled children, but he does want children, not slaves of fear and punishment.
He considers ALL OF US HIS CHILDREN.
At times, we all can be children of disobedience or children of obedience.
Obedience isn’t there to give the other person some undeserved servitude because they demand, it, this is crazy, pagan thinking and carnal thinking of men, true obedience comes because “we love Him because He first loved us. “
Obedience, the obedience our loving Father wants is the same kind of obedience we must work at for one another and especially our children, it is not true obedience because
look “I am God and you are my creation,” so do it because I said so or else, nor is it “I am an adult and you are a child,” and do it because I said so or else ,it is because I love you and by hearing and obeying me from your heart of love for me, this will protect you from harm, and this world.
My love given is all I desire to flow back to me, is your love in return, that is true obedience, not slavery or totalitarian rule, but love. God is not a Tyrant, God is love.

That is why His Hands are EVER rescuing us , and delivering us from this world, the flesh and the devil.
If He didn’t then all of us, saint and sinner alike, would just end up either seriously being a bunch of dysfunctionally retarded, or abused children, if it was all about Him getting what He wanted, selfishily, no He wants our best, and we should always desire the BEST and not the WORST for one another and for our children, because that’s all God wants for us, is for our best. T

That is love. Perhaps a re-read of I Corinthians would remind us of a definition of love which reveals the essence of Who God is. God is love.

How should we see the way God deals with us.

1. He doesn’t bribe us with heaven nor does he threaten us with hell- God doesn’t bribe.

2.How does He treat us, the same- sinner or saint, consistency in treatment because He is shows no partiality.
This doesn’t mean that He desires for other men to act as gods and step in and do His work for Him.
God shows no partiality to men but men with their ideas of retributive justice shows partiality, this is not Godly, they are sinner and violators of the LAW of GOD and men just as well, and deserve the very same punishment they want to mete out to others. God says, don’t judge, leave judgment to Him!
Very important we remember that! His judgment is always tempered with mercy and grace, not destruction of one’s personal mind and soul. Prisons and jails are full of people who because of the very hands of those evil men that put them there, who are only meteing out the very same equal justice they deserve, they too break their very own laws, and the Laws of God, and yet put themselves above others, worship themselves as gods.
Men’s justice is not God’s justice. He desires that all men be saved, not punished. Does the criminal justice system mete out fair and equal justice, I think not.
Most often it is unfair and not equal. This is why more blacks die on death row then whites, more poor people go to jail then rich, and on and on we could go.
God is always fair and equal, how about his fair and equal giving us a mean consciousness of sin, to all men that sin, does that sound fair? Of course it does, how about physical death to all men, does that sound fair, yes it does, how about the misery in our hearts and minds we experience while in sin, does that sound fair,
Yes, and we ALL sinner or saint experience those things. No one hasn’t and they lie if they said they have not.

3. God does not give any of us, the silent treatment, Jesus says, He gives rain to the just and the unjust, and James reminds us, that
James 1:17
every good giving, and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the lights, with whom is no variation, or shadow of turning;

God loves us ALL UNCONDITIONALLY, we are to love our children the same as He loves us, and we are to love one another UNCONDITIONALLY..that means every one another, not just those of our household, those that live and act like we do, or look like we do, or do what we want. We are to grace everyone with love, just as He does us, all of us. Christ died for US while we were yet His enemies. Christians forget just who they really are too often, it is easy to become self righteous and condemning of others, because this is the evil heart and sin in our members tendency to judge others but not ourselves, as always in need of His mercy and Grace. Beware lest you think you stand, for you will fall. “Pride cometh before a fall.”

4. God sets expectations down for us out of love, thus He tells us and shows us, when we act unloving toward others and our self we reap what we sow, not that He has ever quit loving us, or ever will, just as we don’t our children cast them off forever, for true love is unconditional, but He does have expectations not for His own sake, nor should we for our own sakes with our children or other people in this world.
These expectations when not lived in, a life of love for God, others or even ourselves, do result in the destruction of our flesh, hitting the bottom per se, face down, crying out to love, which is God, when that happens. We all need the hand of deliverance and love.
We don’t kick our child when they are down, we don’t say, well you got what you deserved so suffer,
No! we reach out and lift them up, brush them off, and remind them this is what happens when you act unloving, by not seeing my love, when I told you not to run through the house, or as God says, you ended up in drug addictions, sex addictions, hating others, always angry with others, judgmental of others, and when it bites us in the proverbial end “our butts”, then He lifts us up once we start crying, and says to us ,this is what happens when you don’t see my love, protection and care for you.
These are my expectations for you not to harm you but to keep you from harm

5. God doesn’t go overboard on punishments, he created evil for a purpose so we might have something to learn thereby, there are many punishments in this life, that in His ever present ever loving hands He rescues us from. Evil is our punishment in the here and now, all things that make us uncomfortable, hurt us, make us miserable, are there so we can be corrected to cry out to Him, so we can finally realize, Oh! how He loves, for He never turns away from us. The Bible says this, that if ANY MAN CRIES OUT UNTO THE LORD, THEY WILL BE SAVED.
Thus, ETERNAL DAMNATION and ETERNAL TORMENT is something No one would do to their own children and I can’t still quite understand why we want to do that to other adults as well, cast them off into a hell hole of prison or jails, or even capital punishment, for we will all die in the end and then the judgment, and that judgment will teach us all much more then we even know now.
it will be the judgment of NOT GUILTY by REASON OF LOVE and HIS SANITY.... men are totally insane when they act in a manner that not even their own Creator will or would.
So we are reminded of that foolishness when the children of Israel were offering their own children up to be burned to the god of Molech.
God says that this thing they did, would and had never even crossed His mind.
Yet, people daily call God a liar in that regards and say that is all He has in mind, and all he had in mind in sending Christ was to protect us from Him?

People are still doing the same thing with their fellow citizens, in this world, and we would never do that with someone we are close to, we just find it easy because we forget others are part of a family as well, and are someone’s child, and we are ALL GOD”S CREATION, and children, whether they are in our family or not, they are in HIS FAMILY, So don’t show favoritism, he doesn’t, whatever you would do or however you would act towards your own child, is the way you need to treat all of HIS CHILDREN... not just your own.

He fathered them as well as He did us, , you just don’t realize that, because you don’t live with them or know them but HE DOES.

I have never had children of by my own blood, but the things written herein, I learned from my Father, long before someone made this video and put it on You Tube, ,and that is why I can so easily transition what they have learned scientifically to what I have learned spiritually and that constitutes all the knowledge I need in raising children for He has been raising me all my life, while a son of disobedience at times, and while a son of obedience at times., for none of us are perfect, but HE is perfect LOVE, JUSTICE, MERCY, COMPASSION, RIGHTEOUS AND HOLY...

Let’s learn from Him, let us treat others the way He has so mercifully treated us, let us love not only Him for this mercy and kindness bestowed upon us in God’s love revealed in Jesus Christ and the Cross, and let us step over into the Resurrection side of life, and experience more of His love, and give that out to others as well as ourselves, returning His well deserved and not demanded love ---- for freely we have received so freely we should give.

Joseph Wayne Black D.D.

People that teach this are hypocrites within their own rights. They wouldn’t dare do that to their own children, cast them off to be punished forever and ever, what purpose would that serve. How dare them to allocate this evil of their hearts to God who is Love.



In Christ,

The Burning of the Koran?

The Reverend Terry Jones, says he will burn a copy of the Quoran on his church
grounds come September 11, 2010. The name of his church is Dove World Outreach Center in Florida. I want to personally address the "Reverend" Terry Jones.
You call yourself a "reverend", do you consider yourself relevant to God's love, which the dove of peace represents. I want to ask, what purpose does it serve to incite more hatred, and violence in a world full of it. Jesus cared not to change the governments of the world for his is a Spiritual one. Though we are instructed to pay taxes, etc, only that we may live in peace. It doesnt serve the name of Yeshua ha Meshiach ie; Jesus the Anointed One, my Saviour and Lord, Master and King.
How can you even consider yourself a "leader" of God's people? You are to serve one purpose in the whole scripture, if you consider you are some kind of leader, then be a servant as Jesus taught. A servant of love, and peace. I ask you what are the fruits of the Spirit? Is hatred toward any group of people, serve justice or anything that Christ taught. If you wish to gain the world's attention, as salt and light of this world, then your heart must be freed from hatred and filled with the love of God. I am sickened with "Christians" who support violence and hatred toward any man, you have forgotten the advocation of our Lord, "Love thine enemy". It doesnt say love those who love you, or like you, or believe the same way you do, it says to "love our enemy", just as you were an enemy of Yahweh, ie; God showed his love that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us!
Let your burning hatred of others die, let your nationalism, etc, die, to Christ, and give him the glory for His love, and instead of burning the Koran on September 11I invite you to rather offer a meal and clothing to any poor Muslim or other people's as an offering of love to them, especially the hundereds of children, men and women over in Iraq, that are not "terrorist" who were hurt by our war, even in Afghanistan there are the poor and hungry. Do good to your enemy, Jesus said, and it will be as hot coals upon their head. Most people have misinterpreted this as yet another way to hurt them, Jesus didnt say this, he said, that in doing so, it would sear their conscience of hatred and they would see the reality of love. I and anyone who understands the peace of our Lord, who is the Prince of Peace, to let go of your hatred. The kingdoms of this world will continue to come down, but the Kingdom of Christ which is a spiritual kingdom will last forever. Shall any Muslim or any other group regardless what they do, separate us from the "love of God found in Christ Jesus our Lord? Of course, not, it is time Christians be known for who they are, and what the fruit of the Spirit is. We have too long been blinded by hatred, violence, and more. Muslims will never accept the Jesus you teach for he is the same as their Allah. Even to this day because of this kind of hatred expressed by the Crusades, we are still considered as Christians to the Muslim as Crusaders. Are we crusaders for the kingdom of man's church, or we living epistles written on the hearts of men, of Jesus Christ and His love expressed at Calvary to all men everywhere. Jesus Christ is the "good news" not America, nor any other government or religion. I have been praying for and writing to see American Christians change to allow the very one they claim is their Savior to rule their hearts for a very long time now. This is how we make Him king. The religion of Christianity has done much harm to men as radical Islam factions have. Those who know Christ, will refuse violence and hatred and walk in Him, so that we can reveal "Christ within us". I correct you as Christ corrected the Corinthians in Chapter 13:5 of 2 Corinthians - I ask myself this question each day, and we are to do so for Christianity is not a religion- it is Christ, the one who reconciled us unto God, not that God had ever quit loving His creature man, it was because of our sin, that couldn't see God's love. Now He has washed it all away for all men, by the precious blood of the perfect Lamb- Yeshua ha Meshiach.
I am not "Jewish" either, I am only a part of the body of Christ "the Ekklesia" his called out one's. Are you called out from this world or of this world when you express hatred. We must love our Muslim neighbors, our Jewish neigbors by presenting the Truth. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. we have for too long presented ourselves not as Christ like one's. For far too long the church of so called Christians has expressed to much hatred for others.
Of course, the love of Christ in us, as us and through us, can only be expressed by Him, so do as I do, pray first for yourself, that you will reveal His fruit, then pray for others who may hate you, disdain you, and even harm you.
Let us pray together.

Our Father who Are in heaven,THY KINGDOM COME, thy WILL BE DONE, as it is in heaven, so let it be on earth. Give us this day our daily bread ( our spiritual food), Forgive us, our sins, as we forgive those who have sinned against us, allow us not to fall into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the glory and the power FOREVER!

The greatest love ever revealed will be the love we reveal as we allow Christ to love through us. This is the narrow way, love, because the world knew Him not, they will not know us. Step away from your emotional feelings for a moment, pray and let Christ bring you to just rest in Him. I know this is difficult to do, it is very hard to be loving, when we feel we are being attacked by anyone, yet Yeshua showed His love, in a way, that no man has ever, not even I. I want to only grow into the stature and maturity of Him, that may judge no man, and love all men. Let love rule your heart, and we can say, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. I see you call yourself Pentecostal. I pray you will see, to say that the very Spirit of Christ is upon you, that you must first see, He that is in you. If so, what Son of God, would burn a book, that has no meaning for us. Who cares, will you begin to burn all books, like Hitler did? This is senseless and even more without the Spirit of love in it.
Turn to love, on September 11, offer the Muslim's of your community love instead of hatred, offer them a meal and let your life be the Gospel- the good news!

The Shack- A Wonderful Book~

Readers: I have just finished reading one of the most wonderful Christian fictional books written in a very long time. It is called the "The Shack" written by William P. Young. This book will be a spiritual experience for you, it will wake you to the reality of God's grace and His love, and the part that God plays in a universe we think has gone mad, but yet, HE IS STILL IN CONTROL!
I read intensely, as I do all books that grab my attention, I hungered to hear more of so many confirmations of the truth the Lord as revealed to me in my walk with Him for over the 49 years of my walk with Him. It will stir your emotions as well as your intellect, it will give you thoughtful perspective into the reality of not only the atonement but the life of Christ available to every believer that comes to know that wonderous love of God and who he really is. He is not what man has devised in their fallen minds, but He is beyond all we can imagine or think. This book is a story of one man's pain and suffering in growing up under a religious but abusive father who he even sought to kill. It is the story of this same man, and his loss of hsi young daughter to a serial child killer. It is the story of hope, love and forgiveness offered to Christ for all of us no matter what walk we are in life, no matter what sin we have committed, no matter what religious bondage we have fallen prey to, it is story of faith, hope and love. It transcends all the mumbo jumbo religious garbage out there, and brings you to your knees before PAPA- our heavenly Father, not out of fear and bondage to fear but out of response to the MASTER OF LOVE AND PEACE. It will bring you to understand that our concept of God is so limited by our earthly minds and carnal nature. It will make you realize just how far our fallen state of mind has reduced the ETERNAL ONE, to a mere image of our fallen selves. It will make you see how the history of the institution has manipulated men, women and children to draw upon the concepts of God's love into a bitter fear and hiding that Adam must have felt in the Garden, yet there was PAPA crying out his name looking for him, not to shame him but to cover his now known darkness of his fallen self. It will awake you to the reality that HE IS ALWAYS IN CONTROL...and no evil that has befallen you or loved ones, can ever separate the fact that GOD IS LOVE!
WHAT FORGIVENESS, WHAT GRACE, WHAT WONDER....if we all could only have the experience as Mack the main character in the book had. In truth, it has been a little here and a little there, but imagine a few days in the presence of the GREAT ONE portrayed as HE walked this earth, as pure human flesh, as you and I yet, though tempted to disregard God's love and promises he held strong so that you and I can come into that very same relationship with PAPA, and through Him we might experience the power of TRUE LOVE not distorted by man's concepts of hatred and fear.
God loves us...He truly loves all of mankind and meets us on the road we are on, anytime and anyplace. The confirmations of things that the Father has taught me in this latter part of my life were wonderful to find that I wasn't alone, that this author through the portrayal of a simple fictional book could bring those to bear that I am not alone in my perception of the wonder of God's love. Read it or you will miss a wonderful blessing, that will make you cry and receive joy within your spirit. It is a gift from God that led the authors hands and mind to put words to it all that very few authors ever have, and most preachers will never be able to do so, or desire to do so, less they find themselves, unemployed, for lack of some sheep to manipulate and con. I don't say that meaning all have a heart of greed but the institution is a hierarchy which God knows nothing of. May God bless you in reading this book. Go to the website or click on the link above. See you at the Shack someday...
